MyFord Touch Review (In a 2014 Ford Escape)

[@HelpfulMike]

Eight years later and they still haven't improved/updated it, thanks Ford!

[@billc5094]

Agree 100% with everything you said

[@HelpfulMike]

Right on Bill, it's five years later and they still haven't done any updates to improve anything, doh!

[@pattyjohnson3975]

I did switch to advanced and that helped get into the system faster, but I still have major issues with its voice recognition. Thanks

[@gaynellegilbride2062]

Mike, Thank you for a great you tube video. Question, my touch screen has stopped working and is now completely pitch dark. Have you encountered this problem? How would you fix this?

[@HelpfulMike]

Sorry, I've never encountered that. Good luck!

[@annthomas9371]

Have you gotten it fixed?

[@sethh931]

Hey, how did you get your navigation. Sd card in the slot or do you have another GPS hooked up to your car?

[@walterwhite1]

I have a 2013 Ford Explorer Limited, and all your problems are still there. This is so sad ford never even cared to fix it

Hello Michael, I just ran across your video and it was extremely helpful but I have a question and I truly hope you are able to help me. On my Sirius system it displays a box that says " no signal", how do I get rid of that box. Any information you can provide me would truly be a appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried to do a hard restart? Just go to the menu and you'll locate in the program menu settings.

[@TheOriginalZilla]

Thanks for that, quick questions lol 1) Does the escape have an AUX port at all? all I see are AV and USB. and I hear you cant use the AV while in motion. 2) How does the Wireless and Internet option work? 3) How does it update?

[@Ignacio.Romero]

1) Yes 2) I don't think it has Internet connectivity 3) Via USB

[@pattyjohnson3975]

I have the 2014 escape titanic and i use aux and usb to play audio books. I use the advanced setting which makes things faster. It does have internet connectivity. My major complaints is still that its voice recognition stinks. I am an english teacher with a clear voice,without an accent. My car cant recognize anything. I compare my escape to our 2017 honda and our gmc denali.... every car i am in isbetter....and i bought the ford for its tecnology....grrr, they need to treat their customers better, and update the software or they will lose loyal ford consumers. I had fords for 20 years. I ddnt go back.

[@SlyDoggg83]

some valid complaints there. and can be fixed with a update.

[@michaelashe5265]

+Sylvester Harris Yep! I've had the car for over a year now and surprised there still haven't been any updates!

[@72Disco1998]

My 2014 has the option if you're sitting and running that it will cut off, yes or now?

[@EssieBthe-one]

Mine as well. I hope he learns to check settings🤦🏾‍♀️

[@kevinkaiser6800]

What do you do if screen freeze

[@HelpfulMike]

I've never had the screen freeze so can't help you there!

[@pattyjohnson3975]

my ford touch in my Escape 20l4 Titanium does not recognize the voice commands well. It is so frustrating that I hate the car and I have a clear voice. I bought the car because of the voice navigation and now I refused to buy a new Ford because of this problem. Why hasn't Ford fixed itm for those of us that are stuck holding a 20l4 that causes nothing but frustration? I can't even get it to find a Perkin's restaurant or a Target store. It gives me totally unrelated places. I recently bought a Honda CRV Touring SUV with a Garmin link which works better. My husband has a 20l7 Denali and it works much better as well.

[@michaelashe5265]

Yep, it's surprising how obsolete the Ford navigation is, especially considering what a massive company it is. I think it was a $795 feature? And now to update the maps they want another $149, LOL. I'm still happily using my google maps. Works great.

[@michaelashe5265]

And BTW, I've had the car for almost three years and NOT ONE MyFordTouch update. I had multiple great suggestions in the video above, and I came up with those after using the system for a very short time. The engineers can't come up with one improvement themselves? Kinda ridiculous.

[@pattyjohnson3975]

It's sad because I like the feel of the turbo charged ford escape. It handles the road well and has great pick up and decent mileage, plus enough room for hauling items. I would have bought a ford product if they had taken care of the updates on the sync 2. I know the sync 3 is better, but I am not going to buy a new sync 3 nav system for a 3 year old car.
